What are these strikes, whats all this protest for ?
What do we crave for that Anna promises to give us all ?
Bespectacled and clad in white,
We say, the second Gandhiji of India has arrived !
But whats most disheartening for the soul
Is to see many of my countrymen fight with their eyes closed !
They are troubled by the rooted corruption
Whose poisoned branches have pinched us all.
Truly they say that things now have reached their zenith worst
Which forced them out of their dens in unison.
Heated spirits and enthusiasm untainted
Mark us all as we flood the street !
But before rebelling and taking steps hardened
We must know well enough the cause we fight for,
Must know in depth the reason behind the Anna Hazare's revolt .
For not only will it give us wit and direction
But also give proper respect to the sacrifice of an old man !
What we must realize that only one is not corrupt
That most of us at sometime did tread on the wrong way.
The fight hence is not against a person or government
The fight is to protect our motherland from falling into corruption's grave !
People are at fault and many have been wronged
But its upto us to put a stop to this.
Before we fight, before we join hands with Hazare
Let us first ensure that those hands are not free from corruption's dirt !
Let us educate ourselves and the masses at large
About what we actually are fighting for .
Lets learn the difference between Lokpal and Jan Lokpal Bills
But before that lets pledge to stay away from corrupt means.
For a bill of law punishes wrong doers
But its upto us to do no wrong at all !
